Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

Not the best representative, but hopefully you can see the before(below) and after. It’s getting cleaner and making more sense. I’ve removed the sensors that aren’t compatible with my ecu and I’ve started reorganizing wires so they fit under the manifold better. Straight away everything to the right...

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

Sorry to hear you're not completely happy on the wiring. I've found that the only way I'm happy with the wiring setup is for me to do it myself. I think wiring routing and some the tucking/hiding can be preference based and what may be good for some may not be good for others. What are you using fo...

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

Long time since I have updated. Have more of the car back together. Engine and transmission are in. This week my engine harness arrived from Australia. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220101/0a0302fa186a513e104e9beab0eeafb2.jpg I’m conflicted at the moment because although it’s nicely constructed...

Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

Slow tedious process of reassembling everything. The doors have been the worst. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised but Subaru no longer stocks a lot of body parts for this guy. Also I finally have a garage(!) that I can keep the car in and work on it anytime! The downside is that much of my free time ha...

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

The aluminum front arms currently on the car are from an 06 Wrx Sti. The front bushing is a different width on the bugeye and newer control arms and has to be replaced to fit. There are earlier Sti models that are a direct fit for the early impreza/legacy but the track is narrower. Sent from my iPho...

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the thread but where did you get that aluminum LCA and did you ever wind up reinforcing the crossmember? I never did reinforce the crossmembers beyond welding up the seams. I still contemplate having some subframes made, but the advice I’ve received from most A...

I have a throttle body stuck in DHL system somewhere between here and Russia along with some S5 WRC hood vents. Still also considering open...

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

Happy new year! I’ve started painting, or at least priming the car. Hopefully I can start 2021 off well and make a dent in the body work tomorrow. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210101/dacad20ea511901b0bb0b80c02c947ec.jpg I’ve already started to prime a few bits.

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

If you can get your harness back, maybe check out i-wire . I spoke to I wire first. Because I touched my harness first, they won’t touch it, which I understand. They don’t know what they would be getting in to and I guess I did my merge a touch different than they usually do, at least that’s what h...

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

Thanks! Intake manifold is off being powder coated now. I ran out of free time trying to polish it. I’ve been seam welding and covering the highly abused areas like wheel wheels, bottom, and sills with POR15. It will really just be back up though as I’ve added weld nuts to the bottom and the sills t...

Well after having my gallbladder removed then catching and beating covid, I’m a few weeks behind where I want to be. More work underneath as I had to make a couple patches for some areas of gravel-rash but I also finished with the pin stands in the sills. I’ve started welding up the holes for the tr...

Been a while since I’ve been here, but still cranking away. Long block is finally back together. Got dual spring/titanium retainer valvetrain from Gtmotorsports UK who used to be the engine builder for Prodrive. Now sizing valve lash so I can order a full batch of shimless buckets and have one less ...

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

According to the tuner I got my ecu from, I will remove the piping from the turbo inlet to the IAC for 2 reasons. The first being I now have a Prodrive style motorsport turbo inlet that has no additional attachments for pcv/IAC/bpv etc. Also the tuner said going from the cold side of the intercoole...

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

Those valves are sexy! Coating looks good, too. I'd be interested in before/after pictures of the ports, if you have any. Sorry to hear about your co-driver. If you end up needing a co-driver and want to fly me out... I appreciate it! Get the car running first and I'll go from there. Had about 1:15...

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

I looked at doing the parallel fuel rail mod and decided against it primarily due to the space. There just really isn't much room to do that modification without it taking up a lot more room. I think with a good flowing fuel pump and safe tuning the series setup should be fine. I've been parallel s...

Received the rotating assembly back this morning. It is completely balanced to within 0.2 gram.
I think that means everything can start going back together.

Re: Tyler's Legacy SS.... under an impreza shell

Sure don't look like three-angle grinds, do they? Tumble along the port walls actually improves flow, so leave them rough. Also port cross-section area is directly related to tq production. So, for a smaller turbo, lower-revving engine... smaller ports are better. Rough as in you wouldn't even clea...
